What the heck is going on?
Yes I did also find that odd. Combined with the fact that the US Services seem to favour a scenario where the flight went towards the west.
If I were a cynic I would say everyone pursues the scenario which would be less troublesome for them. For the US (.Gov) a Terror Scenario is probably preferable over a fault of the aircraft. The T7 is Boeing's Cash Cow and anything that fosters fear of Terror helps to keep the war on Terror alive. For China it's the inverse. They can't use another Terror attack by the Uighurs at the moment. Equipment failure would be no problem for them.
In reality pure co-incidence though, for sure.
